Hello Everyone!

Im from Ventura County and I currently drive a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Sport 4x4. It’s been a dream of mine since 2012 as freshman in college to one day be able to afford my first rig and explore this beautiful country and beyond. I purchased my truck a couple of years ago and slowly been outfitting for overland travel. I hope to run in to some of y’all on the trail one day..
Hello, welcome to the OB family. Sounds like you've got a good start already.

Hi everyone,
Glad to be apart of this community. Just want to further explode the outdoors than your typical paid camp sites. I look forward in meeting some of you and discovering awesome campsites.

Hello Sang, welcome to the OB family. There is so much more to experience away from paid sites. You're going to really enjoy it.

Hey all, My name is Steve and was just got a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited. It needs some work before I start modding it to be able to be more capable but I'm very interested in getting it cleaned up for long travel. I'm Kansas so there is much for overlanding, but i'm pretty close to a few popular spots that I'm excited to adventure to in the next year or so. Joined this community to get some inspiration for overlanding since I'm new to it.

Hello Steve, welcome to the OB family and to the overland life. Sounds like you have a great base to start from and I'm sure you will enjoy the journey. Lots of inspiration can be found here, so have a look around.

Hello Mitchell, welcome to the OB family. I haven't been to Shenandoah, but if it's anything like Great Smokey Mtn, you'll really enjoy the location.
